i built a simple soda blaster like the one here- http://www.aircooledtech.com/tools-on-the-cheap/soda_blaster/ it was great.baking soda is generally better for the non ferrus,delicate parts,i believe that bicarbonate of soda crystals are bigger and harsher than the baking soda ones and these...

i have work to do on my project,and pretty soon it will be time to clean / prep the chassis / axles / brakes / etc. i have to remove the body and rear bed from my truck anyway,and after close inspection have decided that a few [ not many ] parts require media blasting,the rest look to be good...

is that a camaro i see.....??? yep we wasted a load of these and some with bowsers on too-storage is the problem here,as ever. i own some woodland out the back,some useful member of society even bitched about the 30 odd sankey trailers i had in there- oh how we need a war.....:wink: the...

MADE THE PLINTH'S-to mount the hinge pieces on cut a load of other parts on the bandsaw and turned some tubular spacers on the lathe relieved all the edges and set the various jobs out on the surface plate tack welded then fixed in situ with carver clamps finnish welded one hinge piece...

ha ha -this how it all starts!! i like to have a few spares lying around,you never know what you might need- and then i wonder how on earth i ended up with 42 tonnes of green cr*p- but,hey,without us where would all these great vehicles be ? the world would be full of computer...

sorry-i should add that my '97 6bta is built in england,i believe there all basically the same,metric , and built from the same drawings though.

that looks like a BOSCH P7100 f.i.p. i run a 97 6bta-same pump

anything that involves getting an old dodge back into action is rightous- good luck with the build and keep us well fed with some pictures.[thumbzup]

few shots of the next jobs im squaring up- some detail of the transmission crossmember-it,s made for off road service so it,s tough and incorporates a shock absorber fixed to the underside of the trans,i will reuse this- you can see where we plasma cut the crossmember to allow the trans to sit...

good find mate,i wee bit of surface rust never scared me either. no wonder the local welding supplies guy here drives a bentley. back from ireland this week and got plans to visit the M884-i will strip the induction parts you need. p.j.

got back from riding indians around ireland....in the sun!!!:drool: set some heavywall 50mm box section under the motor-sets the motor just right,even allows clearance on the steering and panhard rods will have to get some more 50mm box and weld up a cross member type bracket. raised the...

putting a 2wd diesel engine and trans into a different vehicle is generally a much easier job than hooking up a 4wd-no adaptors,prop moves,etc. with the hub options he mentioned,and wanting good fuel mileage,thought this would be a valid option. my current build on a m880 has 4wd-would have...

your truck looks great,love the original paint ones,sounds like you were lucky to avoid the rusty curse in that part of the country. if 4 wheel drive is not vital to your plans-i would go for a diesel set up. welcome to SS

always keen to bench race any ideas for dodge trucks ! i found this company AFTER i made my own bellhousing and adaptor- these guys may be the answer.....im thinking cummins 4 or 6 bta and the stock TF727-how nice would that be?take a look,see what you think. Phoenix Casting & Machining...

thanks everyone,it,s sometimes hard to hotrod certain vehicles,but this has been planned for a while,plus without all this work the m880 i started out with would be just a spares truck-i like to think this way it will live again,and longer. i think that chrysler made the v8 flatties-in brazil...

hi, here,s one for the admins really,i wish to send a few of my friends around the globe, links to my build thread here on SS,however, i dont want to have a load of people join the group who will almost only ever log in once-is there a way i can send them a public viewable link,without them...

hey,thanks jakob,thats what im aiming for-i will also use to drag dead wrecks around my yard.it,s a lot of work,but i am committed to MOPAR.8) IM OFF TO IRELAND:jumpin::jumpin::jumpin: - so i will put some pictures up when im back in england.

thanks elwenil-tht,s also some good info there,i am going to fins a manual and put the rebuilt TF into my M890- get me a good v8 thing going again.:drool:

hey gb, it does look similar ,i rebuilt a 727 on a charger many years ago,with no manual,there,s a lot inside them torqueflites,and they go back together different to how they came apart,if i remember right. dropping the NP203? off shows a splined final drive shaft that looks similar to the...

force of habit with phospher bronze internals here is [if applicable-] we open out the oil receiver holes with a much larger drill bit or counter sink,this acts as a reservoir to grab more oil/mist. also on some sliding bushes there are oilways cut into the bearing surface internally,if the bush...
